All education institutions especially colleges often cry for the shortage of funds for proper infrastructure and subscription of renowned national and international journals. • Digital divide is a huge issue to be solved.

  3. N-LIST -ACCESS TO e-RESOURCES: A BOON TO STUDENTS AND RESEARCHERS • National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content is an initiative of MHRD and it is executed by UGC-InfoNet, Digital Library Consortium, Information Library Network Centre, Ahemdabad and INDEST -AICET Consortium, IIT Delhi under the mission on Education through ICT with multifold objectives. • N-LIST program provides access to more than 97000 e-books and 6000 e-journals at very nominal prices to college libraries.

  7. N-LIST PLAYING A BIG ROLE TO OVERCOME DIGITAL DIVIDE • College libraries in rural India are serving in the same way as these were serving hundred years ago due to digital divide.
